Wait...Luke Evans isn't playing Dracula anymore?
1 movie in and they already recast the main monster?

I really like it. Directors cut is even better.Quoting Watashi (view post)
Dracula Untold was developed without knowledge of Uni's Monster Universe plans until the very end of production. Once the filmmakers learned, they hastily shot a modern-day coda. Uni never intended that film to be a launching pad.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Yes. I was one of the few people here that liked it. It was like 99% rotten on MC.Quoting Watashi (view post)

Take out the Mummy and its practically another damn M:I movie.
See Tom Run. See Tom Shirtless. See Tom fuck with a Plane. See Tom with a much younger female counterpart.
No thank you.
It's going to be really interesting to watch Cruise reorient himself once he gets significantly older. I think that's when we'll see him return to riskier arthouse fare. Or it'll be more middlebrow stuff like Lions for Lambs (which I haven't seen, so forgive me if that's an incorrect assumption).
Hey, if you've hired Tom Cruise and not made him (a) run or (b) show off that sculpted man-meat, then what're you even doing?Quoting Zac Efron (view post)
Well I expect him to [].Quoting Dead & Messed Up (view post)
I would say your description isn't far off (assuming I'm correctly guessing what you mean by "middlebrow"), but I thought the film was decent. A little underappreciated, but only a little.Quoting Gittes (view post)
It'd be fun if they treat these movies as like the reverse-Marvel where the monster wins at the end of each solo movie, and then they have an Avengers-style movie where a savior Chosen One rises up to save humanity and the monsters have to band together into a Monster Squad to defeat her.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Good to know. I'll inevitably check it out sometime. As for "middlebrow," I'm thinking of films that are quality but also conventional, accessible, safe, etc. Those can still be great, of course, but they're tidier and more palatable affairs than, say, EWS or Magnolia. I want to see Cruise in weirder stuff again. Watching his reaction to getting pushed by those homophobic assholes in EWS just feels so, so far removed from everything he's been doing for many years now. Not to mention the way he delivers that "I have to go over there and show my face" line from early on in the same film. American Made will hopefully shake things up a bit. Thankfully, Edge of Tomorrow gave us the gift of cowardly Cruise.Quoting Skitch (view post)
I'd be delighted to see him star in a Jonathan Glazer movie or something, lol.
I forgot Lions for Lambs existed until just now... And I got to interview Robert Redford for that movie.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
I agree, and I think you might like Lions For Lambs then. Its not all the way experimental Cruise, but playing a politician is a different, measured, performance from him. I would say its similar to something like The Contender (which I also like).Quoting Gittes (view post)
I remember twenty or thirty years ago, Harrison Ford commented that he'd back away from action films once he got "too old." I thought, okay, cool, he'll do serious dramas and smaller films and ... meanwhile, here we are in 2016 and he's a septuagenarian and talking seriously about Indy 6.
I think Cruise is the same way.
Gotta hand it to Cruise again....
Still probably the hardest working and most dedicated actor out there.
Scientology weirdness aside, I like Tom Cruise.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Cool stunt. I also hear there's a mummy in this movie.
After the plane stunt in mi5 this seems less impressive. But yeah Cruise will always get my vote.

I hope they don't spoil the whole thing in the trailer this time.
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
